With the situation at St Augustine's Hospital in Durban still fresh on everyone's minds, the anonymous staff member said employees are concerned over how the hospital has been handling the situation

“We need to take this seriously because we don’t want to find ourselves in a situation like in Italy and they must just disclose (it), and tell us what is happening. If they want us to comply and help, they need to help us as well, and tell us what’s happening."

Briefly.co.za reported that St Augustine's Hospital had suffered an outbreak that resulted in 66 infections and five deaths with the hospital forced to close off certain areas of the facility.

Employees also raised concerns over the limited supply of personal protective equipment, revealing that the hospital was experiencing a shortage:

“We don’t have many resources in the country when it comes to health and as much as our communities are not taking this seriously, as health-care workers we are concerned."
